Greyhound Denver Chicago recent customer reviews

Wasn't the best ride of my life. One of my buses was over an hour late and there was no explanation for that. Also, the buses were dirty, even after cleaning. I got gum stuck to the bottom of my backpack which was on the floor. While it was on the floor, I didn't expect gum to get attached to my bag. Also, some of the staff was true to some of the customers. I did have pretty nice bus drivers though. For the most part, the bus ride was okay.

I was removed from your bus by a trainee for no reason at all and ended up having to pay for a hotel until the next bus arrived the nexted day.
